alt Hacker NewsWhats crazier is that Codex is free. I thought I had to pay to even try it out but nope, you can use the desktop app or cli for free, its apparently included in the free plan. You just have to sign in to your ChatGPT account.
Of course I am aware that the caveat here is that all my interaction is part of training, but I’m fine with that. Even Qwen Cli discontinued the free plan.

How much better is it than Claude? I have both but Claude sucks up so many tokens.
Can’t you just turn off training on your data in the settings?
I think it's free for about 2 useful requests and then you have to upgrade or wait?
I was really unimpressed by the free Codex (for nodejs/react dev). I think it must be using a less powerful model or they’re limiting it in some other way.

First hit is free… got to get you hooked.
